Yes. How about the one that grinds on my nerves--"I didn't know you rode a 'motorbike' those things are dangerous! I would never ride on one of those things."

How about:
"Is that hot?"
Most common question when I am wearing my Stich in 95 degree + weather
Desired reply:
"YES YOU FRIGGIN IDIOT. WOULD I BE SWEATING LIKE A DOG IF I WAS COOL AS
CUCUMBER IN THIS SUIT?"
Usual reply (accompanied by look of total restraint):
"Sometimes"
"OMG! You're motorcyclist! You're going to die doing that!"
Most common BDC comment
Usual reply:
"OMG! You're a Democrat! You're going to die being that!"
(especially good retort in DC where NOBODY gets political humor
"My (half-brother twice removed) was just killed on his motorcycle"
Most common BDC greeting
Usual reply:
"My gerbil just died on his treadmill, SO?"
"What is that suit your wearing for?"
Other BDC common question
Favorite reply:
"Cause they allow people like you on the roads"
"How come you don't have a (Harley/Sportbike)?"
Pedestrian question
"When are you going to buy a (Harley/Sportbike)?"
Another great pedestrian question

"My god! How can you stand to wear all that in this heat? Isn't that hot?" Asked by non motorcyclists, and squids wearing a helmet, a T-shirt and shorts. Answer I usually give: "Not as hot as that pavement would feel sliding across it."

A cheerful Knot (K) to parts tech: "Good day sir, I would like to pick up a few parts for my rig. I need a gear shift lever, clutch and throttle cables, spark plug, and 4 oil filters. Part Tech (T); "What bike was that for?" K - "A14" PT: "Is that a Kawa....." K: "Yes" PT: "We don't stock those parts. I can special order them for you if you pay for them in advance." K: "Can I use my Visa instead of cash" PT: "Sure, but we charge 3% more. K: Grrrrrrrrrrrr.... PT: "Is something wrong, why is your face sooo red, don't hit........Hey, don't go away mad, why don't you look over in our leather department, all the fringed goodies are 20% off this week." later that day---- K: "Hello there Fred, I need a few thangs......" Fred: "Thanks for the order, you should have them at your doorstep by Tuesday" Knot - who doesn't expect much from his local dealer and usually get it - not much, that is.> Got any others? > > -Adam

In response to comments: "Isn't that suit hot?" : "Not as bad as you might think after you've priced skin grafts from yer ass sliding down the asphalt in shorts and a tee shirt...." "What kinda outfit is that?" "Delta Force. Just walk outta here like nothing's unusual and you might live another day." "Wow, yer a long way from home."
